I just attended a small forum on the creation of a research agenda. I’ll skip naming the profs involved because I’m sure my notes will be atrociously misrepresentative of what they actually meant and said, but I thought it would be worth sharing my notes [...]
One of the things that makes me think I did the right thing going to law school is that every so often incredible jobs in very cool law offices open up. I’ve snagged an internship in one of those places, of course, but there are others. The latest such dream opening is at Creative Commons, [...]

Lauren Cooney, one of IBM’s open source folks, asks who the top five open source thought leaders are. Interesting question- here is my answer. Of course, I can’t limit it to just five. Oops. :)
Not all of these folks are bloggers; many choose more traditional routes to express their ideas, which is great/fine, just means [...]
